Local Market Development & the Waste Streams Resulting from the Lancashire Waste PFI Project Waste PFI Project

Sarah Holliday Principal Waste Management Officer Waste Management

Waste PFI Project

Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT), In-vessel composting and Material Reclamation Facility (MRF) (MRF) Provided the WDAs the best value maximum diversion model Total integrated services divert 88% of waste away from landfill

Local Market Development

Looks at establishing ‘closed loop’ recycling e.g. Lancashire waste to Lancashire product

Projects that are in Development

• Eureka moments!
• Investigating through research & development
• Low Grade Mixed Waste Plastic (MWP) Pellet to make
• Low Grade Mixed Waste Plastic (MWP) Pellet to make

plastic products such as kerbs & posts

• Bus Shelters
• Paper Products
• Mattresses
• Paving

MWP Pellet

• Pellet has successfully been made from low grade mixed waste

plastic.

• Using the pellet a prototype kerb has been manufactured
• Further 100 kerbs being made including low grade mixed waste

plastic/film plastic generated from the Lancashire facilities.

• Other products could be made which could be used by the Authority
• Other products could be made which could be used by the Authority
• Potential for the pellet making aspect to be located close to the

Farington Waste Recovery Park

• Need to drive offtake deals with GRL for the raw material – GRL

could potentially get more income by sending material to energy from waste facilities

• Lancashire Business Park does have suitable

units soon to become available – Strategic position being clarified

Bus Shelters

• Potential cost savings to Authority if Lancashire provides raw

material (rPET) which can be off set against cost of Bus Shelter fabrication

• Fabrication of sheet could be achieved locally
• Potential to establish localised manufacture of bus shelter
• Potential to establish localised manufacture of bus shelter

(Queensbury based in Portsmouth)

• Identified local demand could facilitate the introduction
• f a local rPET sheet extrusion process
• Local Closed loop solutions achievable
• Shelter fabrication could be carried out utilising services

at HMP Garth to provided added value

Paper Products

• 2009/10 Feasibility concluded

non viability of establishing a new

• r re-commissioned paper mill in

Lancashire Lancashire

• Focus 2010/11 on identifying

viable local market for Lancashire waste paper utilising local mill and manufacturing infrastructure

• Libraries Project

Mattresses

Mattress Deconstruction

• New business start up in

S.Ribble

• Seeks to process 36,000

mattresses from muncipal mattresses from muncipal waste stream and a further 23,000 from commercial waste stream

• Working with business to

facilitate access to municipal waste stream and general business set-up.

Paving Slabs

• Project developing paving slabs from 90% construction &

demolition waste including fly ash waste material to provide an architectural paving slab

• Partners: Marshalls, Jacksons (Preston), Liverpool University,

Grundys & Veolia (Community Fund) LCC Landscape Architects

• nboard to trial the

new paving slabs

Future Opportunities

• Ramp–up phase for the Waste Recovery Parks at both

Thornton and Farington

• Starting to see the scope for future waste diversion
• Focus on improving diversion from landfill of the waste
• Focus on improving diversion from landfill of the waste

streams from the facilities that currently have no viable end market at present eg Enval (Luton) eg cat food pouches, toothpaste tubes

• Economic opportunities – business start ups, spin offs?
• Education links through Universities and R&D
• Closing the Loop
